BasinTwo

If you follow mining, you probably glance at hashrate and difficulty charts every day without ever asking where the numbers come from. Most hashrate charts are built on someone else's block explorer. BasinTwo says it runs a full node for each of 13 proof-of-work chains and computes every figure from the block headers those nodes see.

The home page shows hashrate, the next difficulty change, block time and a hash ribbon signal for Bitcoin and Litecoin, refreshed every minute. Only the coin prices in the top strip come from CoinGecko. The method is written out too, which is a nice touch: hashrate is the total work of the last day's blocks divided by the elapsed seconds, and the 90-day charts plot that figure once a day.

Eleven of the chains are mined alongside Bitcoin or Litecoin. Merged-mined chains accept the same proof of work as their parent, so BasinTwo reports each one's hashrate as a share of the parent's. Dogecoin sits near 100% of Litecoin's mining power, which the site explains by saying almost every Litecoin pool also mines it. Smaller coins such as Pepecoin, Luckycoin and Dingocoin get the same table, and Namecoin is shown against Bitcoin.

There are also mining calculators, halving countdowns and a Crypto Mining School section. The footer is clear that this is analytics and education, not financial advice. The team behind BasinTwo adds that the profitability calculators are snapshots built from current difficulty, prices, rig inputs, electricity costs and pool fees, so they aren't forecasts and shouldn't be the only thing behind buying mining equipment or signing an electricity contract.

Live figures are free as JSON with no key or sign-up, and daily CSV files are on the data page. The team says viewing the public dashboards needs no user account or bank connection. The licence is CC BY-NC 4.0 with credit to BasinTwo, so non-commercial use is fine and commercial use goes through the Data API. The historical archive endpoints aren't public yet, according to the API page, and the free feeds are offered as-is for light use.

The privacy page, updated September 19, 2026, is a single table of what's stored and for how long. Server logs are deleted after 14 days. You can make an anonymous account with no email, or sign in with email or Google.

Two things on that page don't line up, and you should know about them. Its opening line says there's no analytics, and further down it says every page loads Google Analytics 4 with IP addresses anonymised. It also says the dashboard still fetches some public chain data from mempool.space, litecoinspace.org and Blockchair, which it plans to retire as its own nodes take over. BasinTwo is run by one person, by its own account, with a contact email and no name. If merged mining is your corner of crypto, the Dogecoin and Litecoin tables alone make it worth a visit.
